Скачать или смотреть Reduced mouth opening? A case of OSMF

Did you know that reduced mouth opening can be a sign of more than just a minor issue?

While it might be related to Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF), other conditions like TMJ disorders or even teeth alignment issues can cause similar symptoms.

But when it comes to OSMF, don’t ignore it. This condition involves the thickening and scarring of tissues inside your mouth, and if left unchecked, it can severely limit your mouth opening.

OSMF Symptoms to Watch Out For:

Difficulty opening your mouth
Stiffness or burning sensation in the mouth
White or grey patches on the inner cheeks or gums
Pain or discomfort when chewing or speaking

And here's the thing: if you have reduced mouth opening, it could be due to scarring from chewing tobacco, spicy foods, or even certain viral infections. Early detection is key, treatment can slow down or even prevent further damage.

So, if you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t ignore them! Get it checked out before it gets worse.
